BARRIERs IN THE DEMANDS OF SCIENCE [1]

BARRIERs
IN THE DEMANDS OF SCIENCE [1]

ByUstadz
Al-Yazid bin Abdul Qadir Jawas

Studying
has some barriers that hinder the science and the people who seek it.
Among these barriers
are:1.
Damaged
intentionsIntention is the
foundation and pillar of charity. If
the intention was wrong and out of order, then the charity is doing is wrong and
broken, too, at one and the destruction of intentions.Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,إنما
الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل امرئ ما نوى فمن كانت هجرته إلى الله ورسوله فهجرته إلى
الله ورسوله ومن كانت هجرته لدنيا يصيبها أو امرأة ينكحها فهجرته إلى ما هاجر
إليه."Charity
is hanging his intention, and someone will get what you intended. So
whoever hijrahnya because Allah and His Messenger, then hijrah is because Allah
and His Messenger. And
whoever hijrahnya achieved because the world who want to or because she was
going to marry, then hijrahnya it according to what he intended.
"[2]Indeed,
the most important obligations to be considered by a prosecutor science is
treating intention, attention to kindness, and protect it from
damage.Imam
Sufyan ats-Tsauri (d.. 161 H) rahimahullaah said, "There is nothing more serious
to me than my intention to treat." [3]Al-Hasan
al-Basri (d.. 110 H) rahimahullaah said, "Who seek knowledge for hope in the
Hereafter, he will get it. And
who seek knowledge because the world expects of life, the life of the world that
is part of science. "Imam az-Zuhri (d.. 124 H) rahimahullaah said," So that's
the science part of the world. "[4]Imam
Malik ibn Dinar (d.. 130 H) rahimahullaah said, "To seek knowledge is not
because Allah Ta'ala, then it will reject the science that he sought only for
Allah." [5]The
good intention is the greatest helper for a claimant in obtaining scientific
knowledge, as it is said Abu 'Abdillah ar-Rudzabari (d.. 369 H) rahimahullaah,
"Science depends on charity, charity depends on sincerity, and sincerity
bequeath understanding of Allah' Azza wa Jalla. "[6]Imam
Ibrahim an-Nakha'i (d.. 96 H) rahimahullaah said, "Anyone looking for something
in the form of science that he hopes intend for the face of God, God will give
him sufficient." [7]Let
us fix our intent in their studies and stay away from bad intentions only for
worldly gain. Because
sometimes a plaintiff science conceived in his heart intention to appear (to
fame). If
he really wanted to learn science, reading a variety of texts and history books
and pay attention to it, and it includes those who want the goodness of God
Almighty, it would make senses, attention to the books that make it vibrant
again to do truth and goodness. As
if he was among those who lost passions and syahwatnya, let him not criticize,
but to himself. [8]2. Famous Want and Want to
AppearWant to be
famous and want to appear is a chronic disease. No
one can be saved from it, except the people who are guarded by Allah
Ta'ala.If
the intention is to be a prosecutor famed science, hailed like, want to be
respected, to be praised, exalted, and he wanted it all is, he has put himself
in a precarious position.Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,يا
نعايا العرب, يا نعايا العرب (ثلاثا), أخوف ما أخاف عليكم: الرياء, والشهوة
الخفية."O
Arabs, O Arabs (three times), something I feared most happened to you is riya
'and hidden lust." [9]Imam
Ibn al-Athir (d.. 606 H) rahimahullaah said, "You mean lust hidden in this
hadeeth is the desire for humans to see deeds." [10]Mahmud
ibn ar-Rabi '(d.. 66 H) radhiyallaahu' anhu said: "When death was about to meet
Shaddad bin Aus (d.. 58 H), he said, 'The most I fear befall this nation is
riya' and lust hidden.
'"hidden lust is said that someone wanted to (happy) when kindness was praised.
[11]A
servant who respected people happy and happy because his knowledge and charities
are doing, then this suggests that the nature of riya '(to be seen by others)
and sum'ah (wanted to hear) in him. Whoever
shows charity because riya ', then Allah Ta'ala will show it to people, and
whoever let out charitable, then Allah Ta'ala will play a charity (ugliness) it
to humans.Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:من سمع سمع
الله به, ومن يرائي يرائي الله به."He let out
(broadcast) charity, God will broadcast her shame. And
whoever labor for riya ', then God will open his intention (in the presence of
humans on the Day of Resurrection). "[12]Lust
is a disaster, except for those whose heart remember Allah Ta'ala. When
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (d.. 241 H) rahimahullaah heard that his name was
mentioned, he said, "I hope this is not a test for me." [13]3. Attending negligent Science
CouncilThe scholars
of the Salaf said that science was in-go, no go. But
now science is coming to us and did not attend, except for a
few.If
we do not take advantage of established science assemblies and lessons are
delivered, we will have to bite the fingers full of regret. If
the goodness in science assemblies just a rest for the grace of God to attend
and cover them, two things are enough as a motivation to attend. So
what if he knows that the people who attend-God willing-gain two luck, the
useful knowledge and rewarded in the afterlife?!A
Muslim ought to realize that Allah Almighty has given to His servant ease in
their studies. Allah
Ta'ala has given the ease with several facilities in their studies, in contrast
to the Salafush Salih era. Is
not this now we could easily get food for their studies such as money, food,
drink, clothing, and vehicles?? Unlike
the Salaf scholars, they are very difficult to get it over. Is
not it has been widely established mosques, madrassas, council study groups, and
more with easy-paced indoor facilities, both with the lights, fans, air
conditioning, and more??!! Is
it not this many science books have been printed so neatly, nice, and easy to
read??!! So
where are the people who want to take advantage of God's great favor to examine
and study the science syar'i??? Is
not it a lot of preachers-preachers who teach and preach bermanhaj Salaf in
place (area) you, then why do you not attend?? Why
would you not want to go to assemblies of science??4. Reasoned with the number of
BusynessThe reason this made
Satan as a barrier in the study. How
many of our brothers who have been counseled and motivated to study syar'i, but
Satan seduce and persuade.People
who waste the opportunity to seek knowledge, then his work meant he did not
attend the council of science. He
makes it as a reason for a deliberately contrived so that his absence in the
assembly of science have a clear reason.Various
busyness that there is a main cause that prevents a claimant science attend
science assemblies and gained a lot of knowledge. However,
people who Allah Ta'ala opened his eyes, he will set the time and use them as
possible so as to benefit a lot. If
someone would think fairly, has the intention and willingness to study, then he
will be able to manage his time and God will make it easier.Therefore,
the smart-set time pandailah Allah Ta'ala has given us. Give parts to study syar'i. Set
aside one or two days a week to attend assemblies if science can not do it as
often as possible. Do
not let the days of our busy, yet empty of their studies and dhikr of Allah
Ta'ala. Remember,
that people who do not meghadiri science assemblies and do not want to study
syar'i, then he will lose in this world and in the
hereafter.5. Opportunity wasted Study in
Small TimeSomeone
will be jealous when seeing people younger more vibrant and earlier came to the
gathering of knowledge. He
will feel envious at the sight of young children and youth had memorized the
Qur-an. He
regretted his youth were not used as well as possible to memorize and study.
Consequently,
when he wants to memorize and study in his old age, a lot of busyness and many
guests who visited him day and night. That
is why al-Hasan al-Basri (d.. 110 H) rahimahullaah said, "Learning hadith small
time like carved in stone." [14]Therefore,
before we are preoccupied with other people, troubled affairs, and regret as
people experience it, then use your youth to study syar'i. This
does not mean that older people should not despair in their studies, but the
whole life we ​​have is an opportunity to study because it is worship.
Allah
Ta'ala says,واعبد ربك حتى يأتيك
اليقين"And
Worship to thy Lord until the coming faith (death)." [Al-Hijr:
99]Therefore,
the young and the old, men and women, immediately repent to Allaah above all
that had escaped and gone. Now
start studying, attending council study groups, learn properly and sincerely,
and use the best chance before his arrival.When
asked to Imam Ahmad: "Until when will someone seek knowledge?" He replied,
"Until death (death)." [15]6. Bored in
Demanding ScienceAmong
the barriers are bored studying and concentrating followed reasoned with the
latest information in order to know the event is happening.Science that we
find encouraging us to know where we are. We
will not be able to cope with various problems and plight, but to put them on
the scales shari'ah. A poet says,الشرع ميزان
الأمور كلها وشاهد لفرعها وأصلهاShari'a is weighing all the
issues,and witness the problem and
principal branches. [16]People
who are reluctant to prosecute and memorized knowledge, but busied herself with
following the news papers and magazines, radio, television, internet, and devote
time and energy to such things, and then trying to solve the problem with the
stunted view without referring to the clergy, he lose
and he will know the losses later in the future.Sadly,
many young activists are angry when the prohibitions of Allah Ta'ala and crying
because of the ban violated Allah Ta'ala abused, but they underestimated the
various kemaksiyatan others such as backbiting, namimah, and others.
They
do not perform prayer as an example the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,
when he said,صلوا كما رأيتموني
أصلي."Pray as you see me
pray you!" [17]They
did not do wudoo 'as wudhu'nya Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, when he
said,من
توضأ كما أمر وصلى كما أمر غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه."Whoever
wudoo 'as ordered and prayers as ordered, diampunilah sins that have been past".
[18]It is not God send
down a disease, but there is no cure. It
is no accident occurred, but there is a way out in the Al-Qur'an and Sunnah.
It is the case that no
doubt.Therefore, you
should never turn or bored in their studies. Learn until you get the
pleasure of studying. Most
information is good, true and accurate is the information from Al-Qur'an and
authentic Sunnah.7. Assess Yourself WellThe
point is to feel proud when praised and was happy when heard others praise
him.Indeed,
human praise to you is good news that Allah Ta'ala hasten to you. It
was narrated from Abu Dharr Jundub bin Junadah (d.. 32 H) radhiyallaahu 'anhu,
he said, "Asked the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, 'How do you feel
about the person who does good, then people praised him for these actions?'
Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi
wa sallam said,تلك عاجل بشرى
المؤمن.'It
is good news that God segerakan for a Muslim.' "[19]However,
be careful if you are happy when praised by what you do not. Once again be
careful that this does not happen to you. Remember
the word of Allah Almighty on His reproach to a people,ويحبون أن يحمدوا بما لم
يفعلوا"...
And they love to be praised for doing what they did not do ..." [Ali 'Imran:
188]Then
remember that feel themselves both in general is a despicable act, except in a
few cases in accordance with the rules of Shariah. Allah
Ta'ala says,فلا تزكوا أنفسكم هو
أعلم بمن اتقى"So do you consider yourself a saint.
He knows
about the righteous. "[An-Najm: 32]So also
remember reproach to the Book of Allaah,ألم
تر إلى الذين يزكون أنفسهم بل الله يزكي من يشاء ولا يظلمون
فتيلا"Did
you not pay attention to the people (Jews and Christians) who consider
themselves holy? Actually,
Allah purifies whom He will, and they are not wronged at all. "[An-Nisaa ':
49]Prophet
sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,لا تزكوا
أنفسكم الله أعلم بأهل البر منكم."Do
you consider yourself pure, Allah knows best those who do good of you."
[20]Perhaps
only someone feel good about themselves in some way, as we have already
mentioned. For
example, the words of the Prophet Yusuf 'alaihis salaam,قال اجعلني على
خزائن الأرض إني حفيظ عليم"He
(Joseph) said, 'Make me the treasurer (Egypt), in fact I was the one who are
good at keeping and knowledgeable.'" [Yusuf: 55]But
in general, feel yourself well and love to be complimented is among devils
entrance to the servants of Allah Ta'ala. Therefore,
be careful that you do not become people who love and are proud when praised and
do not try to listen to praise it.If
you want to know the dangers like praise, consider your obedience began to
decline, and see the people who praise you. Indeed,
if he does not know what she could see of yourself and your charity is not
pleasing Allah Ta'ala, if he'll still praise you??!!The
lesson to be learned here is the one we want to be careful to think well of
yourself attitude. Let
us take care of the title deeds include the name of the degree that we do not
have. Therefore,
anyone in a hurry to get something ahead of time, then he will not get
it.[Copied
